Customer Reviews of A Canterbury Tale
A warning to buyers! Years ago I saw this movie, A Canterbury Tale, and liked it. I bought the DVD version with great enthusiasm. When I tried to watch it, I discovered that it was encoded for Region 2 (that is, Europe) and could not be played on U.S. players. Because I had opened the container, the DVD was not returnable. If you have only a Region 1 player, check Product Information carefully before you order A Canterbury Tale!
A gem of a movie
A strange, numinous little gem of a movie, shot in and around a luftwaffe-devastated Canterbury in the run-up to D Day, 1945. Renowned director Michael Powell returns to his beloved home City to update the Canterbury Tales - 3 modern-day "pilgrims" - a Land Girl, US GI & British soldier, brought together by their hunt for the mysterious "glue man" who pours glue on local girls who date soldiers - all receive their "blessings", as indeed does the glue man. The fantastic cloudscapes & vast skies of East Kent are stunning backdrops to crucial scenes & the amazing & typical Powell/Pressburger/Renoir use of light throughout adds to the air of magical realism. A must-buy!!!
One of Portman's Best
Haunting, troubling, hilarious, and saddening. Eric Portman was England's greatest actor, and he and the rest of the cast shine in this underrated gem about the nature of truth.
